Female Applicants
GCRF African SWIFT is committed to trying to achieve gender balance and
diversity in its activities. We recognise that there are significant
obstacles for female applicants in applying for and carrying out
research fellowships such as this where travel is usually required. In
order to redress the gender balance, we have made this second and final
call for the SWIFT fellowships flexible in location and in terms of
travel required (to allow for familial commitments) and with a focus on
women's professional development in SSA.
GCRF African SWIFT recognises that female applicants who are not coming
from a research background may need support in submitting their
proposals and/or documents that display the applicant's ability to
publish written work. If you have concerns around this, please do not be
put off applying, but contact the GCRF African SWIFT Programme Manager,
Dr Lorraine Youds (l.h.youds@leeds.ac.uk), to discuss your application.
